Step 6: Personal Reflection About the Activity

Individually, reflect on your experiences from this activity. Reflections should be about one, no more than two, pages in length, and they can be handwritten or typed. You may choose to write about one or more of the following topics:

  • How do you think your research and presentation went? Why do you feel this way?

  • Do you think the process you just completed is similar to what researchers actually do when planning a similar city? Why or why not?

  • Knowing what you now know about the risks of living next to a volcano, why do you think people still choose to live so close to them?

  • Do you think that you would be comfortable living in the city that you presented to the city engineers? Why or why not?


If none of these topics interest you, feel free to write about a different topic, but remember that it must pertain to this specific activity.
